That's all wrong IMO... balance is all out.

Looks all fat up front, and disappears at the rear.

Someone has put an RS250 tail on an LC in Sydney also, and it's quite the opposite. The RS250 tail is just a little too big to match the LC tank and it looks a bit weird.

I agree with Jeff, this one has been doing the rounds on the forums and everytime I see it I hate it a little more, the fact the builder didnt bother to try and XT or DT250 tank and find out that it looked waaay better is just beyond me. This comment is superb (by Nik, probably nikfubar on the forums):

'If Carlsberg made LC hybrids this wouldn’t be one of them!'

This photoshop to me also doesnt work, the motor looks tiny as if there is 'too much bike' and not enough engine...

Interesting. The first one is aimed square at the Hipsters from the other thread, how did chrome get on an LC?

Nice tank mister



I didn't think it was too bad . At least it would a pretty handy device - more than what you would say for most of the genre.

Doesn't look finished to me, the integrated bodywork of post-70's bikes blend all the elements so my eye keeps drifting to the trailing edge of he tank, looking for the side panels.
Shows how spindly looking the LC frame is.

Hmm.. they aren't stock barrels by the looks. RZ bottom?

I thought the same about this one, looks far to wide for the motor.

Hybrids 500 motor would do nicely!

LC, seems to have a single carb conversion with a vacuum bag for an air filter. You may be getting the impression I'm not sure about this bike.
Other "bike", Kar Lee has been trotting out these photoshops in Classic Mechanics and MCN (UK) for a long time. Nice little earner but they tend to be extremely "samey". Theres an RGV600 in the issue available in Aus at he moment, but its very like most of the other ones he does. Maybe I'm being a little harsh.

[hybrid]

I dont think you're being harsh.
The first thing I thought when I saw that kardesign one was... where is that pipe header going? It doesn't even look close to lining up with the engine

As for the LC - the heads and barrels look too rounded. The LC head and barrels are kinda square with rounded edges.

[JonW]

its probably a banshee top end on RZ cases as you guys say. With single carb... and that horrible airbox on show... no no no... may as well have used a single pipe LOL
